The sunset on September 11th  on Cape Cod Bay was spectacular! I had just sat to read my book when I looked out the window and saw some interesting colors in the sky.

I quickly jumped in the car and drove down to the beach on Cape Cod Bay and the sunset was breathtaking!

It doesn’t get much prettier, do you think?

Canoe Or Kayak From Hemenway Landing On Nauset Marsh On Cape Cod

There were lots of canoes and kayaks in the water and  on land at Hemenway Landing in Eastham on Cape Cod. What a great place to launch your canoe or kayak and paddle out to Nauset Spit. It doesn’t get much prettier!

But be careful of the tides and the channel markers so you don’t get stuck in the mud at low tide!

The Coast Guard Boat CG36500 At Rock Harbor On Cape Cod

It was such fun to go aboard the Coast Guard’s boat, CG36500 which is docked at Rock Harbor for the season. You can go inside and learn all about the greatest Coast Guard small boat rescue in history. It is an amazing story. The movie, The Finest Hours, came  out last January is all about the unbelievable feat!

When you are finished there is a little shack across the parking lot with lots of CG36500 memorabilia which you can purchase. I got the latest edition of the book called, Rescue.

If you’re in Rock Harbor, it is a very cool thing to do …and very educational!

Coast Guard Beach On Cape Cod Is Pristine

We took a walk on Coast Guard Beach on the National Seashore on Cape Cod. It is truly one of the prettiest beaches that I have ever seen.

We walked all the way out to Nauset Spit which is where the water breaks through the beach and goes into Nauset Marsh. This opening changes frequently as the sand shift under the ocean water.

We turned around and looked back and could see why Coast Guard Beach was voted as one of the Top 10 Beaches in the USA! Just spectacular!

Labor Day Weekend At Coast Guard Beach On Cape Cod Before The Storm

Labor Day weekend at Coast Guard Beach on Cape Cod was beautiful before the storm when they had to close the nearby beaches because of the rip tides and unsafe swimming conditions.

What a perfect way to spend Labor Day weekend!
